Public Open Houses are an exciting way for the Queen's Observatory to give back to the Kingston community by sharing our knowledge and facilities to inquiring minds young and old. Our guests are invited to come and experience free of charge the wonders of our Universe from the smallest planets to the largest galaxies! The first part of the Open Houses consist of a presentation on an interesting topic that is accessible to all, for about 30 minutes. After the talk, and weather permitting, we head upstairs to tour the 14-inch telescope in the dome atop Ellis Hall and do some observing! Even if the weather is not favourable and we are not able to do any observing, tours of the facilities upstairs are still offered for those who are interested.
